Govinda and Neelam Kothari have captivated the audience with their on-screen chemistry in multiple movies during the 1980s and 1990s. Their on-screen chemistry had frequently led to rumours of a romance, which made headlines in tabloids.

Govinda has publicly acknowledged that he was drawn to Neelam, even going so far as to say that he thought about getting married to her. However, Neelam has now responded to these accusations and completely rejected them.

During a recent conversation with Usha Kakade Production in a recent podcast episode, Neelam debuted the accusations.

She said, “O teri, who said this? Govinda ji bahut hi acchhe insaan hain, magar yeh jo sawaal hai, yeh sach nahi hai (Govinda is a good human being, but this is not true). He is a wonderful human being, and we have done several hit films. But this is not true. Sorry, sorry, but this isn’t true at all. There was nothing between us.”

The actress also talked about the 90s media frenzy about their chemistry and said, “I think link-ups were part of the whole game. There was no one to clarify. They just printed whatever they felt like, and to be honest, I feel like in those days we were scared of the press. Because it was the power of the pen, and it was just part of it. If you did more than 2–3 films together, it was just understood that… you two must be together.”
